“Thanks for all the messages guys,” she continued.

‘We are in the biggest love bubble [right now] and our friends have just arrived on our journey, so we will be present both on and off socials. More to come later, my beloved.”

Cathy debuted her relationship with Richard in August 2020, but recently stated that the pair have been together for five years.

The reality star met police officer Richard shortly after filming Nine’s social experiment.

“I think I’ve fallen in love with every aspect of Ritchie’s being — he’s so supportive and believes in me, and that makes me so excited,” she told NW magazine in 2020.

‘We see a future together and are already thinking about which suburb we would buy or build a house in. And children will happen. No data yet, but standby!’

She previously explained that she wouldn’t share many photos of them together because he was “very private.”

‘Today is a special day. My boyfriend’s birthday and I don’t share it on Insta purely because I like to keep my love life private,” she wrote.
